The most unrealistic part of this video was that I made it past the first 6 rounds of interviews PART 2 UP NOW • Coding Interviews in 2... #coding #softwareengineering
In 10 years of career, I only did DSA interviews when I was looking for jobs at FAANG or big tech companies. Most non-product based, small, medium-sized companies (and some large ones) prefer to apply tests with a real-world scenario (at least in my experience). Not trying to be rude, but if you google “companies hiring without whiteboard” you'll find a big list.
@@noidea1903nope, coding on paper builds your fundamentals without the noise of an IDE guiding your every line. It's how all those genius developers you hear about actually learned. New generation are so used to having their hands held by tools no wonder they getting layed off. The best American, Russian, German, Chinese and Indian programmers I worked with all at some point learned their algorithms, data structure and control flow on paper in C, way before they even touched an IDE. Now you got web Devs and python graduates who have no idea how their language even works, no idea about networks, no idea how a computer even runs. Too much abstraction had killed the new Henderson of developers. Resulting in reduced quality in the pool of developers compared to a decade ago. I recently had candidate who did frontend for 5 years but had no idea how to build a system that relied on local database. He was literally asking what the API endpoints were when his task was to work with a handful of sqllite databases. I was stunned
The way it works now, if there's anything beyond a round two I'm calling it. Coding interview and then personnel fit interview. If your hiring staff can't get the picture efficiently, I don't want to work for you. Wasting both of our times and I'm not even getting paid.
I had this more on interrupt me to go on a 20 minute rant during my whiteboard interview once because he thought my handwritten code had a lowercase s for String on the whiteboard and that was wrong and wouldn’t compile.
In university in the first coding test in C in a fairly big exam in first year I did a literal typo that slightly changed the output and my grade went from 26/30 to 18/30. They control the exam with another program and it gave me 0/8 in that huge exercise which was the most important one in all the test
You missed a perfect opportunity to say “because you have such low latency, this code does not fit into the Microsoft ecosystem” as the reason you lost the job 😄
You can turn the device off though and that will protect it. If it is on even unconnected...done. It was limited due to changes in software etc..span multi systems for decades
Me: "Yes, I can make a full stack website by myself with CI/CD deployments in AWS." Interviewer: "Stfu and answer the leetcode or leave." Honestly I'd rather work for myself at this point. The humiliation rituals are getting to be too much.

It's somewhat the same in other fields as well. I had a Cyber security interview at Vodafone. The job only required 3 years exp in Security, I had 3 in security and 10 in IT support. The other SecOps guy in the meeting wanted me to be an expert in Unix, Windows, Monitoring, Virtualization, DevOps and work on-call even though none of these requirements were in the job description xD I even tried to explain that I did know a lot about monitoring in Xymon/Hobbit (the tool that we use at my current Company) but he was like "nah, that's not worth anything, you need to know the other monitoring tool that does the exact same thing but is called a different name". At the end I felt like I don't know anything about anything. It was pretty obvious that they didn't want to hire anyone since it's a fake job posting but they had to do the interview because I applied directly on their website and was recommended by a friend that works there.
Bro how can't they give us coding tests where we're allowed to use Google and ChatGPT? I know how to do it, I'm just gonna forget one or two parts that I know exactly what to google for to immediately fix...
@@mohinp yea im trying to get into the tech field, started working on Python, cloud, soon AI. Trying to be a backend developer, working on own projects. if it's gonna be this hard, Idk what to say😅.
Even though the video is for jokes, it’s usually better to admit if you’ve seen a problem prior to working on the solution. The interviewer is there to judge you off your problem solving skills for problems that you don’t have the immediate answer for. This is because it is much more likely in a real life scenario that you may encounter a problem you haven’t seen before. Regurgitating solutions that you have memorized doesn’t prove anything and often makes you come across as disingenuous. Just be honest with the interviewer if you have seen the problem before, sometimes they will give you a different problem. Or they’ll even just stay with original problem, you’ll be able to (hopefully) find that solution you studied, and your interviewer will appreciate your honesty making you a stronger candidate 😎
Interviews like this have nothing to do with IRL situations. IRL when I code I use google / copilot / chatgpt for anything I'm not sure of. At no point would I ever try to make my own algorithm without googling it.
They shouldn't give you leetcode examples if that's what they want. Give me a real world task and ask real questions that arise in my field of work if you want to test me How many times did I have to do a bubble sort in my 2 year working experience in commercial programming? Zero...

microsoft coding interview on google meet :>
mAcrosoft 😉😉
Google meat
💀
Meanwhile, at macrosoft no-one has pushed a significant change to a build in ~10 years.
And they are not using c++ for new stuff
cuz they are trying to figure out where they missed a semicolon (tipp: line 2) ;)
lmao that's why I'm very happy working for companies that doesn't require me to do leetcode tests
companies like?
Which ones?

As someone currently grinding leetcode, this video is everything I fear.
I want more!
More coming soon! Thank you for the support!!
Happened to me at uni... they reduced my grade because of it... and we had to write the code on paper... with a pen...
Yep, went through the same...
Going through that as we speak. Coding on paper is a stupid idea
Yep, did coding tasks on paper as my entry exam, probably the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever experienced regarding IT field

I did that once for a test, paper and pencil, it’s not even testing my coding ability just annoying

lol i didnt even notice the shirt🤣
Thank god someone noticed
The current job market honestly has me wondering why I didn't just get into HVAC or carpentry or something.
Bruh I been thinking g the same things. Companies are exporting coding jobs at a rapid pace
Yes, learn to plumb. Making way more than my CS buddies.
Same.
Carpentry makes good money, BUT your back will suffer immensely.
dude i was rejected after 5 rounds with mathworks, and this really hits me in the feels 😂
"Gill Bates" caught ne off guard 😂😂😂😂
7th round is extremely relatable. Every single interview I do has more and more steps as I go on
Gill bates 😂😂
Im glad someone got it 😅
@@mohinp 😂😂
You can tell they are not serious when they schedule the interview using Google meet 😂
Ok you had me on the hang-up sound effect LMAO feels too real though
the funny thing is that how true it actually is
This is really frustrating for me. I always miss these things, so now I'm scared as hell to interview at tech companies like this :(((
Seriously? They don’t hire you because of a small syntax error? I don’t think so
@@chrisw9597it's true bro
@@littledudefromacrossthestr5755really?
@@danielhobbyist yep... Very picky. U got to remember that the market is full of other candidates

yea just like me bro i have the interview with grab 2 medium questions i finished it all, but still failed T_T
We will get em next season 🙏🙏 keep your head up King
0:01 what do you use for study coding interview questions?
Leetcode!
It has an output to log. But they could see that. The signal is temperamental and has no containers.
You can turn the device off though and that will protect it. If it is on even unconnected...done.
It was limited due to changes in software etc..span multi systems for decades
It has an external output so it has potential to do other things especially on your system.
The HDR looks good
Thanks man!
here before this guy goes viral
Appreciate that man, thanks for the support ♥
seeing this is sad, Is it really worth getting into this field of work now?
For sure, ill be creating more content down the line to help out!
Plot twist: they're coding in JavaScript...
Auto semicolon insertion FTW
i am cooked if this is how interviews are going to be. i am already cooked as it is :)
Nah man this was all jokes, you got it keep you head up 👑
Me: "Yes, I can make a full stack website by myself with CI/CD deployments in AWS."
Interviewer: "Stfu and answer the leetcode or leave."
Honestly I'd rather work for myself at this point. The humiliation rituals are getting to be too much.

Coding tests are more about your problem solving ability and you should talk through your thought process with the interviewer.
I have amazon tomorrow, plz no
Nah man keep your head up you'll do great! Good luck!
Wait are coding interviews actually this hard for every company?
Nah man this is just for jokes, keep your head up and good luck!!

Bro wtf do recruiters want? Do you want people to know how to solve a problem or not lmao
@@sumofty recruiters want a nice looking resume (experience and keywords) and for you to be under their projected salary range, that’s all
They shouldn't give you leetcode examples if that's what they want.
Give me a real world task and ask real questions that arise in my field of work if you want to test me
How many times did I have to do a bubble sort in my 2 year working experience in commercial programming? Zero...
Personally I think this is horrible advice, I would just get the job.
bro not funny
You’re not funny
1.7k ppl would love to disagree 🤷♂️
